Eleven #purplebags this AM with the Vic Park group in #Nottingham.
One more group pick this PM in #Aspley and our Great British Spring Clean 2026 campaign is over. 1,588 bags so far.
16 days, 62 events, I'm just knackered.
And it all starts again tomorrow with our summer Green Flag campaign.
Day job is running the #volunteers in #Nottingham. So far this month they've removed 1,557 #PurpleBags of #litter from our #streets & #GreenSpaces.
Best prev Mar was 570 bags; top 3 months EVER were Mar, Feb & Jan THIS year.
Council House lit purple to recognise their work.
Flashbacks of #student picking #Lenton Boulevard in beautiful sunshine!

Pick No. 6 of our GBSC campaign & our #volunteers clocked up 21 bags in just under an hour in #Sherwood in #Nottingham. We're only on day two & we've done 124 #PurpleBags, and 631 in total so far in March.

Our #GBSC campaign is GO: 23 #PurpleBags logged at the pick in #LeenValley & #Bilborough, and a stonking ONE HUNDRED & SEVEN BAGS across #Nottingham today. This included a massive #woodland clearance so there's no way we can do this every day until 29 March, but hey.
What a start.
#volunteers
Three group picks tomorrow.
The difference between making a thousand this month & 2,000 YTD may be the weather. Forecast rain.
We have high hopes and waterproofs!

Great to get out and about today with our #Bulwell #CleanChampion #volunteers who're doing their part in the #regeneration of this part of the City. Thirteen #PurpleBags, a suitcase, and a tv among today's trade.
We found this in the waste at the depot so we repurposed it qs our Bag Totaliser!
(We do like applying the waste hierarchy!)

We rescued this lightbox from the dump and now we have a totaliser for our bags this year!

Two picks in #Sneinton in #Nottingham today: the City's #CleanChampions recorded 946 #PurpleBags for Jan 2026: the best January since proper records in 2022, & our Best. Month. Ever.
I truly have the best job in the world.
Well done, everyone.

We had a amazing day yesterday with 56 #PurpleBags reported around the City. I know more were picked as they were posted on FB but not registered, so this is a huge #volunteer effort by our wonderful Champions.

One lighter moment of the week was getting drawn at a networking event for the day job running the volunteer organisation.
We've done 6,580 bags this year as of last night. I want to break 6,666 by NYE & have ideas about 9k this time next year.
